I am not wearing a bra today. The large surgical pad on my right breast would make that difficult in any case, and I don't want to get the industrial strength iodine goop still on my skin on any more clothes than I have to. But I am planning to leave my apartment. Thus the hunt for clothes to wear.

I started with a base layer of an undershirt. It is v-necked and white, so it is visible under most of my shirts which looks a little odd but not crazy. Whatever I wear has to be heavy enough to help shield the left breast which has only the t-shirt, and ideally help disguise the square pad on the right. But this is CA and it's not parka weather today so I was trying to avoid too many layers.

After a few tries I'm wearing the undershirt with a lightweight sweater. The necklines are different so it looks like I'm being very proper. I do look unbalanced though, and I don't think I own anything bulky enough to hide that. I guess today is when I find out how many people take the time to notice my boobs.

Everyone notices boobs. Always. Even straight chicks like boobs. You should have an interesting day!

HEE! So true. I also second the vest since I disagree that this is not parka weather. Personally, I am wearing thermals, a sweater and my North Face jacket. (Unless it's just crappy weather in South Bay? LOL.)

Another layer certainly helps - when I took a walk just adding a jacket was enough to hide. But my dinner out got cancelled (my friend was busier than he hoped) so I won't have to put my look to a more public test.

Yeah, I do think we frequently walk around so concerned about ourselves that we never really notice each other. The surgical tape is seriously itchy, and it's a little sore but I'm down to just taking ibuprofen instead of the heavier stuff.
